The UK government has set up a scheme to enable those escaping the war to come here and we want to welcome as many families into our community as possible. However to do this we need your practical help. To enable us to do all that we can, Martin Rich has agreed to coordinate our response. As a first step, we need to know quickly who is able to help, and in what capacity. So, if you are willing to offer any form of help - be it accommodation, physical resources, prayer or practical support - please pledge your support by clicking on this link. to subscribe to a mailing list to keep updated and complete the simple form that will appear once you click “subscribe" to tell us what support you can offer. We will get back to you asap to coordinate and make it happen. If you have any questions, please talk to Martin Rich or email [email protected]. Our Legacy Project Blessing others as we have been blessed The people of Christ Church have always embraced opportunities to use our resources to reach out to others. The recent redevelopment of the office and the Church building was purposed to underpin this vision for a generation to come. Continuing on this theme, the PCC has recommitted to complete the original objectives of the redevelopment project, and to raise the last of the funds needed to enable the Church to be “debt free”. Included as a key objective of the project is that 10% of all personal gifting for the redevelopment should be used to create lasting legacy projects which bless others. The many relationships that Christ Church already enjoys will form the core of our focus to become recipients of our legacy funding - and projects that enable others to learn of God’s word, to grow in faith and to have a long lasting kingdom impact are our mission. A huge thank you to all those of you have given over £1million towards the project, the last Gap is £150,000 that we would like to raise in this Easter season and if you would like to join in with thanks for all that God is doing through us the link is: https://www.christchurchware.co.uk/giving.html If you would like more info on giving please do talk to Sam Rich our treasurer and for more information on the legacy project please do contact Steve Elliott (team leader) via the church office.
